Stretch marks are marks that can appear on the skin of the body when the skin grows rapidly. The best known example is that of a woman's stomach during pregnancy. However, they can also develop on breasts or thighs if they grow faster than the skin can keep up with. The connective tissue is torn subcutaneously by excessive tension, which is not painful, but does lead to purple-red marks that turn into white scars after a few years.
Rosacea is characterized by a bright red discolored skin, especially in the area around the nose and cheeks. Bursted blood vessels are visible, but often also red bumps and pimples. Most patients who have rosacea think they 'just' suffer from acne. This is mainly due to the presence of the pimples in the affected area. However, rosacea has nothing to do with acne and is a chronic skin condition.
A skin condition in which there is too much or too little pigment in the skin. There are different types of pigmentation spots. The most common types are age spots, a pregnancy mask (melasma) and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which develops after skin damage. A lack of pigment can be caused by damage to the skin or by skin conditions such as vitiligo.
We speak of excess hair when too much and too thick hairs grow in places where normally no or only thin hairs grow. There are two forms of excessive hair: hypertrichosis and hirsutism. They usually occur individually, but can also occur in combination.
Age spots are benign pigmented skin lesions where elderly suffer from. Skin areas that have been exposed to the sun, especially the face and hands, develop round or oval-shaped light to dark brown colored spots. The spots can be a few millimeters to a few centimeters in size.
As someone gets older, a lot changes in the skin. The upper skin layers become thinner and the number of blood vessels and sebaceous glands decreases in the skin layer below. This creates more space between the different skin layers. The amounts of collagen and elastin (the fibers that provide the firmness of the skin) also decrease, causing the subcutaneous connective tissue to lose its firmness. In addition, the skull shrinks with age, causing the skin around it to become looser. All of this makes the skin look and feel slacker and less resilient.
Endermology (LPG) is THE treatment for sagging skin of the body. A treatment with endermology is a virtually painless treatment method that treats both the skin and subcutaneous tissue and the subcutaneous connective tissue. Endermology improves the structure of the connective tissue, stimulates blood flow and the removal of waste.
Coagulation therapy can be used in the treatment of couperosis and telangiectasia (conspicuous or burst vessels, see also laser therapy), milia (gerstekorrels), fibromen (steelwratjes), ouderdomswratjes, vergrote talgkliertjes, ouderdomsvlekken en/of kleine huid oneffenheden. Wratten behandelen wij tevens met stikstof.
With cryotherapy (the CryoPen) pigment spots, age spots, age warts and common warts such as foot and hand warts can be removed in an easy, safe and painless way.
Door middel van curreteren kunnen we verheven goedaardige huidoneffenheden van de huid af schaven. Denk hierbij aan ouderdomswratjes.
Coagulation therapy
A small needle is used during the treatment. The tip of this needle heats up so that the interfering tissue can be specifically coagulated.
In general, this is no longer visible within a few days after the treatment. The number of treatments can vary from 1 to several. Usually 1 or 2 treatments are sufficient.
When can I be treated?
Coagulation therapy can be used in the treatment of rosacea and telangiectasia (conspicuous or burst vessels), milia (skin bumps), fibroids (cutaneous warts) and/or small skin imperfections. These are common and are usually slightly darker in color. They usually localize in the neck, armpit, décolleté and/or under the breasts.
De huidaandoening ‘Dermatosis papulosa nigra’ kan tevens worden behandeld met behulp van coagulatietherapie. Deze kleine donkerbruin tot zwart verheven papels/vlekjes komen vooral voor bij mensen met een gepigmenteerde huid. Indien u niet geschikt blijkt voor coagulatietherapie kan soms worden gekozen voor andere behandelvormen zoals laser therapy and/or cryotherapy.

Cryotherapy
The tissue is treated very precisely with nitrogen, which freezes the affected skin. A few days after the treatment, a scab forms under which new skin is created.
After 10 to 14 days, the newly formed skin becomes visible. Cryotherapy can be used for age spots, age warts, cutaneous warts and pigmentation spots on the face or on the body. Usually 1 to 2 treatments are required.
Curreteren
Tijdens de behandeling wordt gebruik gemaakt van stokje met een rond oogje. Dit oogje heeft een scherp randje waarmee we de verheven goedaardige huidoneffenheden gemakkelijk van de huid af kunnen schaven. Hierna is een schaafwondje zichtbaar, welke gaat genezen. Afhankelijk van de locatie kan dit 7 tot 14 dagen duren.
Het aantal behandelingen kan verschillen van 1 tot meerdere. Veelal zijn 1 a 2 behandelingen voldoende. Bij ouderdomswratjes raden we aan jaarlijks terug te komen voor een onderhoud behandeling.

Acne is a condition of the sebaceous glands and can affect both men and women at different ages. The condition mainly affects the face, but can also appear on the back, chest, neck or shoulders. Acne can be recognized by oily skin, blackheads, small white bumps, red pimples, pimples and / or inflammation.
When acne has become very inflamed, it can leave disfiguring scars after healing. Acne scars are often more serious when the acne is treated too late or not properly. The scars can occur on the face, back and chest. In most cases it is treatable.
A scar is a permanent visible abnormality of the skin that arises after deep damage to the skin. Some scars can restrict movement, itch and/or hurt after healing. Sometimes they are only cosmetically disturbing. They can be visible as thin skin lesions or thickened on top of the skin.
Couperose is characterized by the presence of many burst blood vessels. The red or blue colored vessels are usually located on cheeks, nose and chin and sometimes also in the neck or décolleté. They are harmless but can be disfiguring and are more common in women than in men. They can cause a tingling, burning or itching sensation.
These are small brown to black molds that mainly occur in dark skin (both Asian and black race). The most common place is the face (particularly temples and forehead). They can be of various shapes and sizes and sometimes cause cosmetic concerns.
Skin bumps (Milia) look like small, white granules in or under the skin. It contains hardened sebum (skin sebum). It is a blockage of the sebaceous or sweat glands. Often the skin bumps are on the cheekbone or around the eyes.
